I voted 2014, but that's just the homer and optimistic 1phillies fan382 talking. Honestly, I don't see how we're a playoff team next year. So much shit has to go right. Asche has to come into his own and be a .830 ops 20 home run 80 RBI guy, Gonzalez has to dazzle, and the bullpen has to be formidable. Rollins will still hit .240 (probably at the top of our lineup) and Howard is probably good for 15-20 home runs because of injuries.

Also, is anyone else worried about Cliff Lee? He kind of reminds me of C.C. Sabathia. He's getting up there in innings pitched and age, and he is more prone to being injured or losing his effectiveness. Hopefully he pitches like the 2013 Lee and not the 2013 Sabathia.

I don't see how they can be in the playoffs next year - but let's see IF Amaro does anything to make the team better.
